Downtown Hamilton Built Heritage Inventory Study The City of Hamilton invites all citizens to a public open house and facilitated public meeting to inform and engage citizens about the Downtown Hamilton Built Heritage Inventory Study. The Open House and facilitated session will be held at LIUNA Station, 360 James St. N., on Thursday June 27th. A Public Open House will take place first -- from 1pm to 4pm -- followed by a facilitated session from 6pm to 9pm. City Council has directed staff to complete a pilot study of inventoried properties in the downtown and update the existing Inventory of Buildings of Architectural and/or Historical Interest. An extensive research and documentation project was undertaken and information has been incorporated into a database. Working with ERA Architects, phase two of the project is under way; developing a methodology to evaluate the approximately 800 properties based on the Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act. In the context of this direction, the open house will provide citizens the opportunity to learn more about the Downtown Built Heritage Inventory Project, the Ontario Heritage Act, and the municipal designation process. The public is encouraged to participate in the evening facilitated session which will include an opportunity to share ideas about built heritage and the value Hamiltonians place on heritage and conservation.
